The frontal eye field (FEF) has been known as a key player in the generation of saccade motor commands and in the allocation of spatial attention. In this issue of Neuron, Schafer and Moore demonstrate that FEF microstimulation enhances the effect of a position illusion induced by visual motion on saccades. This finding suggests that FEF activity can modulate the deployment of spatial attention, which in turn can alter saccade motor commands.
额叶眼区(FEF)一直被认为是扫视运动指令生成和空间注意力分配中的关键角色。在本期《神经元》杂志中,谢弗和摩尔证明,FEF微刺激增强了视觉运动诱发的位置错觉对扫视的影响。这一发现表明,FEF活动可以调节空间注意力的部署,而空间注意力的部署又可以改变扫视运动指令。
